+Attempted to cast to/from a pointer with an unknown kind.

+Erroneous code examples:

+let b = 0 as *const _; // error

+Must give information for type of pointer that is being cast from/to if the
+type cannot be inferred.

+// Creating a pointer from reference: type can be inferred

+let c: *const i32 = 0 as *const _; // Ok
